Indecent exposure?????

[atp500]

What is your idea on this. I live on an inland lake. I do my share of ice fishing. The problem I have is with the fisherman who think they need to drink a few beers while fishing and then pee right out in the open with no consideration of who might be watching.

Is this something that is considered indecent exposure? I feel it is inconsiderate of the people living on the lake. It may be a case of only a few acting like slobs but what of the example it sets?

Let me know your thoughts.

Ken

[olddog413]

I am curious what others think on this also. You know, it's not always about the beer. Some people have to go more than others, even a drink of water can set it off. What is one supposed to do ?

[ESOX]

Let me know your thoughts.

All depends upon the gender and conditioning of the offender. ;):lol:

[GoneFishin]

Quit watchin' :rolleyes: and start fishin'. ;) ;) :lol:

Coffee, coke, beer, water, at my age they all put the pressure on, I normally have a few paint buckets with me so's I can go in da Shappell or flip the lid on the Trap and do my business, 'specially if there's a crowd. But, if out away from everybody w/ a few buddies well I just walk off a ways and turn my back to 'em.

Besides I don't want all dem women ta come outta dem lakeside cottages an chasin' me down. :rolleyes: ;)

[Magnet]

I'm sure the advantages of owning waterfront property outweigh the disadvantages. I'd think that this is something you'll have to put up with unless you supply the icefishing public with a port-a-john.:rolleyes:

If you have someone ticketed for urinating in public, I believe it is a considered a sex crime and they will be added to the sexual offenders registry list, which will probably haunt them for the rest of their lives..

Seems pretty harsh to me.

[Thunderhead]

All depends upon the gender and conditioning of the offender. ;):lol:


LOLOLOLOL :) :)

[wally-eye]

I can live with the #1 but draw the line at #2......:SHOCKED::yikes:

Shoot as old as I am all I have to do is look at some water and I have to go.........

[WALLEYE MIKE]

If you got to go, you got to go.

I am usually discreet depending on where I am and who might be watching.(I'm not offended but someone else might be) If you got a shanty, an empty bottle would do inside. If not, depends how close I am to someones house or whatever. Everyone does pee sometime in thier lives, I would not look if offended plain and simple.


I can live with the #1 but draw the line at #2......:SHOCKED::yikes:

#1 is sterile but #2 has e-coli potential.

I usually have a plastic grocery bag or 2 with me (for #2) and a 5-gal. bucket. Bag it and take it home for proper disposal.

[fishnfeathers]

All I do is bring a big gator aid bottle and I have a portapotty. People standing out on the ice taking a leak only helps the tree huggers with their cause.

[Reel_Screamer86]

Dont look, or quit fishing....For Pete's sake its a bodily function..What do you think the animals think when your out in the woods deer hunting and have to take a number 2....:)

[atp500]

Thanks guys, I knew we would be all over the board on this. Everyone has to go sometime. You ideas are great. Being discreet is the best answer.

Happy New Year!!!!

Seems pretty harsh to me.I work in road construction, sometimes there is not a porta john handy and we open a truck door and relieve ourselves. A hot topic at last springs safety meeting was urinating in public was indeed considered a sex crime and would get you added to the sexual offenders registry list, which is permanent !Careful guys, someone with a grudge and a video camera, or simply too much time on thier hands, could indeed make things miserable.

[ChapstickCharlie]

Well, let's use our heads here and I bet we can come up with a few ideas on how to fix this. For example:

What if we painted the offending appendiges red? Whala, can't see em anymore just like the Cajun line. Course some will use much more paint than others which brings in the question, why are they messin round ice fishing when they could be elsewhere?

See where I am goin here? :lol:

[wally-eye]

I think Kens point of this thread is the people that live on the lake that have to witness this from their front rooms..........

Being discreet is the word for the day....

[melnik]

This issue is about Lawyers making money. They just keep ratcheting up the penalties for "crimes" so people will have to hire a lawyer to fight the charges. I think the law about peeing in public and the sex offended list is just rediculous. I can tell the difference between someone wagging their richard in my face for jollies, and someone descretely relieving themselves.

I also walk for my health, and sometimes my walks go for 2-hrs through the country side. I need to drink water, because I'm excersizing, and I sometimes need to relieve myself, again, descretely behind a tree where no one can see me. But each time I do I'm "exposing myself" to the lawyers for their enrichment. It's just plain wrong.

I also can't believe we live in an America where it's illegal to fish and drink beer????? What's next..... outlaw apple pie????

Perhaps as ice fisherman we should consider carrying a reclosable jug with us on the ice so we can take our urine to a proper place for disposal, but we shouldn't have to leave the ice to pee or hold it till we go home.

I'll pee descretely, and the rest of you please turn your head. Thanks

[atp500]

Thanks Wally-eye---being discreet is the answer.

[2PawsRiver]

Standing in the middle of a lake and taking a leak is not Indecent Exposure, while walking up the back porch of a house, waving at the occupants, pointing to your Johnson and taking a leak would be.

Public Urination and Indecent Exposure are not the same thing.

[jackbob42]

I think Kens point of this thread is the people that live on the lake that have to witness this from their front rooms..........




If I'm out on the lake , and someone is watching me from a cottage , they might see what I'm doing , but they'll never see what I'm doing it with ! :yikes:

[icefishermanmark]

I just kneel down behind my shanty about a fott from it and go there. No one can see anything, and the pee never tocuhes the shanty. This is the best way to do it. I think that standing there in the open is ridiculous when there's always something to conceal yourself just a little bit.

[Hamilton Reef]

I'm fortunate to be able to hunt/fish on my own property. Whew!....what a relief.

[alex-v]

Public Urination and Indecent Exposure are not the same thing.
By law they are. Ask your family attorney to explain the consequences to you.

I also can't believe we live in an America where it's illegal to fish and drink beer???
Since when? You had all those question marks but stated it like it was a statement.

[2PawsRiver]

Consequences don't define the offense.

Indecent exposure has an intent requirement. If your intent is to expose yourself while urinating, then it is indeed Indecent Exposure, however without intent, or the reasonable expection that someone will see your privates, it is not Indecent Exposure.

Additionally for indecent exposure the complainant has to be offended.:)

[alex-v]

Additionally for indecent exposure the complainant has to be offended.:)
That is all it takes; someone to be offended and to file a complaint.

If any exposure takes place and the complainant is willing to state that some portion of the anatomy was shown or visible then it does not matter if the intent was just to urinate. It is the world we have inherited.

None the less, as other have alluded to: "Discretion is the way to go."

[melnik]

A statement followed by question marks signifies that I don't believe the statement. Sort'a like incredulous. I didn't invent the concept.

And as far as drinking while fishing, I was told by someone the laws are just like driving a car, so I assumed one couldn't "drink and drive". I believed them because it fits my impression of how the law works these days... perhaps I'm wrong. In fact, I hope I'm wrong, because I'd like to go back to enjoying a beer while fishing. I did take a quick look for boating laws on the DNR website, and I didn't see anything that says you can't drink and drive a boat. You just can't be over .1.

Sorry to hijack the thread.

Are you just making this stuff up;)

750.335a 1. A person shall not knowingly make any open or indecent exposure of his or her person or the person of another......."Knowingly comes straight from the Michigan Penal Code. A 2006 amendment adds language regarding "A reasonable expectation".

There actually is not a State for Federal law that makes Urinating in Public illegal. Most times disorderly person or creating a nusiance is applied, but does not really fit. A number of cities have inacted ordinances against Public Urination, which does not reqire exposure.

I have often heard the Public Urination/Indecent Exposure debate when the SOR is the topic of a thread, but I have never known or heard of anybody getting arrested for Indecent Exposure when Urinating in Public, without the intent of exposure.

Man vs Wild(I think) was pretty indecent when he drank his own Urine.:D

[alex-v]

.. but I have never known or heard of anybody getting arrested for Indecent Exposure when Urinating in Public, without the intent of exposure.
I have. The guys ended up with tickets for Urinating in Public and then getting a charge of Indecency thrown on. They plea to the urinating and get the indecency thrown out. These reports came from lawyers or those who work for law offices.

But, we are back to discretion. Use a little common sense and then it looks like someone standing near his shanty or a tree by the shore and nothing more.

How often are we reading about marina or shoreline condos trying to keep ice fishermen out of their canals. And, one of their complaints seems to be public urinating.

[Dking(MI)]

Well, all I know is that the ice sure is cold!!:D

[ChapstickCharlie]

Kneel and pee? Kneel and pee? I'm sittin on a bucket, wind blowing like 40, and I'm trying to tie a palomar on a size 16 jig using near invisible line and now you want me to Kneel and pee too? I count like 6 items of clothing I have to wind through just to find Mr. Shy and Sensitive and you want me to Kneel and pee? Forget it.

Now if anyone wishes to expound on dancing with the duke on ice, well, I have experience. We can Talk. :rolleyes:

[MSUICEMAN]

be courteous... when/if i have to go (which is rare, i can holdit darn near forever cuz i rarely drink on the ice) i try to be discreet about it and if people are all around, i make a special "pee spot", drag my shanty over it, take care of business, and drag off of it. if there aren't many people, i go behind the shanty or somewhere where people won't/can't see.

[Enigma]

On the saginaw river when holly's landing was open people peeed right in front of the resturant out on the ice with all the people inside there they could see the people peeing out there on the ice.The waitress like it so they told me they didn't mine watching.But they did say there were a few throw back's because they were to small. Ha HA

[Ice T]

I just go in my space diaper

[Buzzy]

If you gotta go you gotta go. My problem is locating that thing under all my clothes!!! :eek: I don't know how anyone else could locate it!!!!!! :yikes:

[Frantz]

Unless it is dark out, I pee inside my fishing hole and then move the shanty to a new hole.

I am an outdoors man, but think it is wrong to whip it out when and where others who might be offended might get a view.

That and the whole thing of finding it under all the clothing may bring some unwanted assumptions from potential future dates.

[eddiejohn4]

All one has to do if they have a shanty is bring a milk jug. If no shanty then there are external catheters that one can purchase.

Personly I use the jug:)

[jwoody]

Comon sense tells me to use the shanty as a block and turn toward the far shore, if they can see it from there you have somthing to be proud of. I too live on an inland lake (grew up on one as well) and as was said earlier there are trade offs. Guys have been ice fishing and peeing in front of where you live long before you lived there.
Also I know of no law that prohibits a guy from drinking while ice fishing.

[The Doob]

[skulldugary]

I turn my back to the crowd or the shore if there are houses close by and make sure there are no women and kids around.With 4" of clothes and 2" of hose no one is going to see anything I'll get ticketed for anyways.

[ibthetrout]

If you got to go, you got to go.

#1 is sterile but #2 has e-coli potential.

I usually have a plastic grocery bag or 2 with me (for #2) and a 5-gal. bucket. Bag it and take it home for proper disposal.

You mean like in the neighbors lawn or on the front porch set a flame?

[Dking(MI)]

Unless it is dark out, I pee inside my fishing hole and then move the shanty to a new hole.



I wondered why all the walleye I been pullin up have been extra yellow??:lol:

Maybe its time I bought an auger!

[Chris391]

I agree you have to be discreete if you have to go. Its not that difficult to do. As far as the beer and fishing you are good to go. Now keep in mind that if you fall in alcohol will increase the affects of hypothermea. Also you can get popped for a DUI if you are operating a ATV or sled while intoxicated. As someone mentioned you can have open alcohol while operating a boat. You just cant be over 0.10. even if you blow 0.07 the officer can use that and with other evidence to charge you with being intoxicated. The bottom line is just use common sense.

[Zofchak]

"Three convictions of any combination of:

* Disorderly Person (M.C.L.750.167(1)(f));
* Indecent Exposure(M.C.L. 750.335a(2)(a));"

So if you were caught doing it 3 times and convicted of indecent exposure each time then technically you could be placed on the Sex Offender list:confused:. I highly doubt it's ever happened, but it's possible.

[rtcatzrt600]

Use discretion. I usually charge a minimum of 1 dollar if someone wants to watch me pee!:lol:

[shadow]

hmm this thread got me thinking tonight as a young boy in the group started slopping around a wet hole in the ice that someone could have peed in!? maybe there should be a designated hole for.....you know 1's and 2's

[quest32a]

You guys think having to pea on the ice is bad? Try fishing the summerruns off the pier when there are 200 tourists out there watching a boat race and you gotta go.

I am sure I have offended a lot of people over the years. The ticket would still be cheaper than me running up to the bathroom and having someone steal all my gear off the pier.

And there is no way I am pulling my gear either.

Discretion.... its kinda hard out there, LOL

[Zofchak]

^^^ I thought that's what the "emergency" ladders were for?:lol:

[MIfishinGuy]

in the winter i bring a bottle or if i get caught without one, i drill a hole almost thru the ice or all the way thru if its not thick enough ice, drag the shanty over and pee.

during the summer out on the boat i bring a laundry detergent bottle, its big enough that i can put my unit in so nothing is "exposed" and after i just empty and rinse it. i have also seen people use a long pvc pipe, they just put one end in the lake and a certain part in the other end and pee. just because people know you are peeing doesnt mean you have parts exposed, but being discreet is better, its ideal to find an area with no houses around.

[Undertow]

When ice fishing I just pee inside my shanty in a bottle or something. During the summer I spend 90% of my time in a yak so I just paddle over to shore and run into the weeds or woods. I definately keep it to myself.
Undertow

[don]

People have been pissin in the wind as long as there has been,well, piss and wind, I suppose.However some common sense should dictate when and where this natural occurance should take place.;)

[jakeo]

If someone is nearby.......being descreet is the only way ...... but....

If they are watching with a telescope.......TAKE A LOOK!

:lol::lol:

[Lisa23]

It dosent bother me unless its in view of a child. In my case Ill try to hold it, But if I have to Ill go in a bucket in the shanty. If I dont have a shanty availble Its kinda hard for me to be descreet. :yikes:

[Jacob Huffman]

How close are these guy's that are peeing on the ice??? If you can see their junk at more than 50 yards I guess I would want to show it off to...:lol::lol:

[Lisa23]

50 Yards?? What lake???:evilsmile

[2PawsRiver]

50 Yards?? What lake???

:lol::lol:.

[SPITFIRE]

50 Yards?? What lake???:evilsmile
everybody knows it shrinks in the cold! lies! I tell ya lies! lol

[itchn2fish]

I suppose you could get a ticket for having too many rods in use.

[dobes]

I'm lucky because when I go pee outside people think its just a wax worm vomiting

[Jigawhat]

While reading this thread I was CONVINCED that: 4" of clothes and 2" of hose would be the funniest line I'd read.
I was wrong. :lol:
I suppose you could get a ticket for having too many rods in use.

[RichP]

ok, I now know way too much information about some of you guys. :lol:

I can live with the #1 but draw the line at #2

yeah, I use to fish with a guy that thought nothing of doing the latter out on ice. disturbing to say the least...

[Ausable Junkie]

If i'm left with these choices: 1)irreversible kidney damage or
2)chance that someone might see me

I'm gunna open the dam and let it go. Expecting someone to hold it when
it gets really uncomfortable can cause serious health issues. It'd be like telling someone with the flu, "Don't vomit till you make it to the bathroom or
i'll charge you with littering".

There IS a difference between exhibitionism and human body functions.

[Enigma]

Don't be afraid lay it out. little thing or small problem one of the two or both.Sounds like there's alot of men on here with that small crocks disease L.O.L.

[Enigma]

You ever here of the 100 yard stare.It's not a problem for some you little fellows.Us big guy's have to be more carefull.theres alway emzite for you 2 inchers throw back's.

[Scout 2]

But us little guys don't have to worry about it freezing fast to the ice.

[bigsid]

Pissin' in the wind...

And it's blowin' on all our friends...

We're gonna sit and.........Oh, sorry!

The way I see it is that I'm respectful enough of those around me to make sure that they don't have to watch me pee. Same goes for those in their houses. I was thinking yesterday as I answered natures call, that if someone on shore can actually see me urinating, then they must be actually looking and then I guess they can put the binoc's away, or watch if they want to!:yikes:

[2tundras]

MEAT GAZER!:lol:

[2tundras]

Maybe a little off topic but...

Wifey, buds and I were off Grassy on Munuscong last weekend when the chilly kicked in. Burned over the ice for about 1/4 mile and figured out that the bumper around the front of a 2000 Tundra is the perfect height at which to hang your tailbone thus assisting in the release of internally generated lawn mower stoppers.

But...I soon figured out that if one is positioned on the port side, one must turns the skis sharply to port as well, otherwise you will do as I did, and turn the aforementioend lawn mower stopper into a soon to be patened "ski decoration."

Translation, I shat on my ski. Chilli shat too, not the firmest of items.

Wifey was not impressed. Cause of course I just had to burn back to show it off.

[RichP]

where's the guy from the Bud Light commercials that says Dude! when ya need him...

[frenchriver1]

Dont look, or quit fishing....For Pete's sake its a bodily function..What do you think the animals think when your out in the woods deer hunting and have to take a number 2....:)

That'll Teach Him to Tinkle Outside

02/25/08 APPLETON, Wis. (AP) -- An apparently drunk man picked the wrong place to tinkle. Appleton police arrested the man Friday afternoon after he reportedly relieved himself in front of the police department.

The 40-year-old was cited for public urination and jailed on a probation violation.

A preliminary breath test indicated a blood-alcohol level four times the legal limit, police said.

[slimjde]

Here is the final answer to this. It's realy up to the officer (if a law enforcement agency is called). If its intentional and no attempt was used to conceal themselves then yes they will get a ticket for indecent exposure which is not considered a sex crime and you dont have to register yourself as a sex offender becuase it has nothing to do with sex.

Most people will take some kind of bucket or jug with them and ladies will cover them selves up with a blanket or jacket, this is not considered exposing yourself becuase you took a reasonable effort to conceal it.

If its a drunken idiot or just and idiot exposing himself without trying to hide it then call your local law enforcment, they usually will have their Boat patrol or DNR nearby.

If that doesn't work try sreaming franticaly yelling "pervert someone call the police". They will usually leave at that embarrased.

Man, thats just wrong...........:fish:

[wolverine301]

Last weekend I was releiving myself after fishing through the 5 layers to find the little fella. Unfortunately there was pressure at bottom restricting the flow. Needless to say when I thought I was done I wasn't and when the pressure was removed the rest was history...made for a cold walk in.

In short I peed my pants...and I wasn't even drunk yet.

Don't know if theis is relevant to the thread but it was funny nonetheless.

[Kevin]

I try to take a knee, for the sake of discretion, if I can, behind the shanty or shielded by a bucket.
Pretend I am doing something else, but probably not fooling anyone.

[mjmmusser]

I usually try to go inside the shanty if it is #1. #2 I try to make it to the shore if I can.

OFFTOPIC: I used to fish with a guy who wasn't afraid to #2 right next to you in the shanty. The last time I ice fished with him was about 10 years ago, and I vowed never again.
I was stuck in the middle of the shanty between 'ol Willie and my grandfather, and he say uh-oh. The next thing you know his snow suit is to the floor and his *ss is on his bucket (mind you, there was no liner in the bucket). Well he starts grunting like he's giving birth to a litter of piglets when all of a sudden this god-awful, rancid, cockroach killing smell rolls through the shanty. It was so bad that I still to this date swear I saw crapcicles hanging from the roof of the shanty. Needless to say, I fished outside for the rest of the day and was afraid to ride back home in the truck with him.

[stillfish]

Isnt this about fish reports and not who has to go where and when. Let it go:rolleyes::dizzy:

I'm studying and told my buddies your story...we got a real kick outta that story...especially the litter of piglet comment...hilarious

[mjmmusser]

The worst part that I forgot to include was after he was done he walked outside and used an ice scoop to partially fill his bucket with water. Then he swirled it around a couple times, dumped it out, then went back in the shanty and sat on it.
Later when we packed up, without a second of thought, he picked all the perch up that he was throwing out from under the door to keep and threw them in his bucket.:SHOCKED::coco:
Thats how "chocolate perch" are made!

Man , thats freakin hilarious and disgusting . Did you have to help fillet those crap soiled fish ? I hope not . Dont ever invite me to a fish fry with that guy .

Heck, I won't even go to a fish fry at his place. Dare we say "fondue anyone?"

Oh, while I'm thinking about it, I got another indecent exposure story.

A month ago I was up north fishing Skegemog. Fishing was slow and I all of a sudden got the urge to pull a #1. Well we didn't have the shanty up so I piled up the ice from my hole and knelt down.

I just got started when I hear this snowmobile making its way across the lake. So I look over my shoulder, it was headed straight for me. In an instant, and a few dribbles in my bibs, I pinched it off and zipped up just as the sled pulled up within 10 feet of me.

It was the DNR!

Well we had a little laugh when I had mistaken what he asked. I thought he said "What were you doing," when in fact he said "How are you doing." I told him, "I just got zipped up in time." He laughed, turned around, and started to head towards my friends and said, "Go ahead and finish."

I decided not to since "Mr. Happy" is kinda shy and I didn't want to be led into an arrest.

I just stood up, pulled out my wallet, and let him proceed to check my fishing license. He went on his way to give some paper out to the next group on the lake. I thought for sure I had a ticket coming for indecent exposure.

When sitting in the shanties there is much time to tell stories, and there are many ways to tell your shanty partner you have to step outside. This is one shanty story you can pass on when fish aren't biting.

The Polite way to Pee
During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question: "Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?" Michael said, "Just a minute I have to go pee." The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite. What about you Sherman, how would you say it?" Sherman said, "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." "That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. And you, little Edward, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?" "I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner." The teacher fainted.

I have known people who got a ticket for take'n a pee on the roadside but not on the ice. When I have heard stories about people calling the law on someone peeing on the ice, it involved someone waggleing it at a woman who was watching from a channel front home. Not a very smart move! I always try to walk away from others and face away them and any cottages. If they can still see mine then have a really good telescope! As for going #2 I've only had to do that once on the ice and I went well up into the brush. I had friend that crapped in his suit hood once though, now that was funny! I remember one year when this old guy that used to go with us just walked out about 70 - 80 yrds and took a dump right out in the open. We of course avoided that area the rest of the winter!

All I do is bring a big gator aid bottle and I have a portapotty. People standing out on the ice taking a leak only helps the tree huggers with their cause.

Interesting. I'm curious as a tree hugger who fishes all year round, and has been known to pee from time to time, what cause that is? That people who resort to the "tree hugger" argument shouldn't be allowed to pee on the ice?
